Definition
Having a thin, wrinkled, or creased texture similar to crepe fabric; thin and papery in appearance.
Etymology
From crepe (the crinkled fabric, from French crêpe from Latin crispus 'curled') + -y (adjective-forming suffix), creating an adjective meaning 'resembling crepe.'
Kelly Says
Dermatologists and cosmetic companies use 'crepey skin' as a scientific-sounding term, but it's really just poetic—we describe aging skin by comparing it to wrinkled fabric because that's the visual metaphor everyone understands.
